Why God??????????

In times of distress and hardship it is hard to see God and His plan in those times. Many people want answers so that they can understand what is going on and what is the value in this. Where is the God who says He loves and takes care of us. If we are not careful we will lose our heart in a moment of despair. For years the church has not properly taught how to interact with God in these situations. Nor do I have the answers but in the psalms there are some that are called imprecatory and they are filled with a lot of strong language. Go read Psalm 69. While reading this did you see that the author told God exactly how he felt and was very strong in the emotion of it. I am not telling you to ask God to destroy your enemies (in the New Covenant we are to love our enemies), but if things are rough and out of your control and you can't find God, don't do what this culture does and question God why? Which means we quit praying and ignore Him like He isn't there. But instead do what the psalmist does and gets it all out of your system (God will not be upset HE knows that is how you feel anyway) and then changes to praise of God and decreeing that God is the only one who salvation will come from. In the end only God can deliver us!!! His promises are true and HE will do what HE has promised.
